Art 1: PerspectiveOur World in Depth
Since earliest times, people have struggled to show our world on a flat surface.
Sometimes the world is represented with visual stories using lots of symbolism
(left to right)Aboriginal Art, Middle Eastern Art African Art
Sometimes the world is represented using Illusions of space and depth in different ways…. Overlapping images
Vertical Placementhigher is farther awaylower is closer
Middle Eastern Painting
Chinese Painting
Size matters
So does value
And now, different perspectives on depth…..
Isometric Perspective vertical parallel lines—no vanishing point
base and horizontal guidelines are 10:00 and 2:00 lines
Atmospheric perspective (think of a foggy day)
One (vanishing) point linear perspective
Student work (above)Giovanni Piranese (below)
Two point linear perspective
Student work
Three point linear (bird’s eye view) perspectiveStudent work
(worm’s eye view)
Students use many ways to create illusions of depth

Use this when discussing what kind of perspective is being used.
Isometric Perspective (10:00 – 2:00 “horizontal” lines, vertical lines)
Atmospheric perspective (think of a foggy day)
One (vanishing) point perspective
Two (vanishing) point perspective
Three (vanishing) point perspective
Bird’s eye view Worm’s eye view
Can you figure out what kinds of ways artworks create the illusion of depth? In groups of 2 or 3 look at the artwork in today’s handout on your tables and examine and discuss what ways were used to create the illusion of depth.
More student perspective drawings in color pencil…
They are two point linear perspective
with some isometric perspective objects, all shaded using atmospheric perspective.
